Girls want to be Girl Scoots because the program is fun and be cause it gives them chance to learn new skills and explore varied activities. The idea of belonging to a club composed of girls of their own age appeals to them, as does the oppor tunity to share in planning their own pro gram. .Girl Scouting is citizenship in training. The Girl Scout Promise and Laws give young people a code to 'live by. This code lays stress on getting along with others, accepting responsibility and serving the community. Who is the Girl Scout Leader? She is a homemaker, professional or business woman. She likes girls and takes pleasure in doing and learning with them. She has, perhaps, a skill or ability of her own that she is pre pared to share. She puts aside one after noon or just an hour for a troop meeting with an occasional call for special events. She may take a leadership course or learn through self training through the Leader’s Guide that is placed in her hands. Her satisfactions are many. She gains friwids, young and old. She has fun as one does with young people and she keeps up her interests and skills. Her chief reward ia the knowledge that through her leadership girls have a better chance of becoming hap pier, more useful citizens. Adult, volunteer help is the strength of the organization. Let’s keep the green and brown uniform a familiar sight on the Eden ton scene. Leaders are needed. It’s Voting Time Again On Tuesday, October 2, farmers will be electing the ASC farmer-committeemen who in 1959 will be responsible for the local ad ministration of such national farm programs as the Soil Bank Program, the Agricultural Conservation Program, Price Supports, Acre age Allotments, Marketing Quotas, Storage Facility Loans and other#. It is these men who will see to it that such national programs are properly adapted to conditions in Chowan County and it is the background and experience of these same men that will be mingled with that of the 135 thousand ASC farmer-committeemen in the United Stales in the formulation of any new program that developments in the coming ytar may require. This double-barrelled fqnetion of the farmer committee system has k<plt it vigorous through the years and has b#en largely responsible for the truly demo cratic development and operation of the farm programs. You participate by helping to elect your committeemen, by keeping them informed of the problems facing you and your commun ity , by giving them your full support and co operation in their job of program formula tion and administration. The County Convention at which elected delegates will elect County Committeemen wiH be held on October 21. You will be eligible to vote for your Com munity Committeemen, alternates and dele gitfts if you have an interest as owner, opera te, tenant or sharecropper on a farm that is participating or is eligible to participate in atay program administered during the current calendar year through your County ASC Com mlttee office.

BBnsc > but tbat they Jgfek* fil&u til ' ■ 1 Jdeard & .Seen By Buff John Mitchener was telling me that the indignities poked at him and other University of North Carolina alumnae this week are just about unbearable. It’s all bAause of a cer tain football game played in Chapel Hill last Saturday afternoon, which sent Carolina fans back home not a bit happy. On the other hand, it was an excellent opportunity for N. C. State rooters to raise whoopee and have a real field day and they are still “crowing.” And to add fat to the fire, A1 Phillips at the Lions Club meeting Monday night read this “epistle”: When Big Jim came to Carboro College, he vowed that he would win. We’ll be around the top each week—no worse than number ten. He told the press State was unimproved, a freakish team and such rot, And the only reason he’d lost last year was ’cause it was so hot. Now we know if Big Jim stopped talking— that he would surely die, But it’s a peculiar sight, with your foot in your mouth, when you have to sit down and cry. Now it’s a known medical fact that Carolina men all have big brown eyes, ’Cause they’re all filled up to the sharp point of thejr heads with those sweet “Tatum Pies.” o John L. Goodwin at Sunday 'School Sun day morning was commenting upon a trip he recently made to New York. “Did you go up there on a lark or on business?” I asked him. “No,” said John, “I went up on a bus.” o Doc Wallace Griffin likes to fish but he didn’t win a prize in the Chamber of Com merce fishing contest which has been in pro gress during the summer. However, he went to a dental meeting at Wrightsville Beach, where he won first prize in a fishing rodeo. It was a rather unique contest for all of those interested in the event apparently forgot the hours for the contest so that Doc was the only contestant in the event. His catch? Well, he caught three fish and the three fish weighed 7y 2. Oh, shucks, I forgot to say V/ 2 what. Well, the fish weighed V/ 2 OUNCES. Anyway, Doc won the contest and as proof of his “feat” he has an affidavit to the effect that he caught three fish weighing 7y 2. Be sides, he was awarded the prize which was a bottle of fishing fever pills. These pills are highly recommended for relief of distress in telling angling tales. o A news release from East Carolina College says eight majorettes have been selected for attractiveness and expertness in technique to march with the Pirate Band. Included in the group is Linda Leary of Edenton. She was a majorette in the Edenton Band before going to ECC. And incidentally, the Edenton majorettes strut their stuff with the band and add a great deal to the football games and parades in town. My hat’s off to ’em, but what I can’t understand is when the band passes The Herald office the whole works rushes to the front door, but all we hear is drum solos. o Many of the Marines have left 'Edenton and I understand the base is scheduled to close up shop entirely about the end of the year. Mrs. Earl Carpenter says her husband will most likely be among the last to leave the Edenton base and hopes they will be trans ferred to California. I told her I had never been to California and her reply was, “Well, if you ever go there, you will not want to come back. ’ That might be a good reason to give for not going—it eliminates the reason that I don’t have the dough. Anvway, Mrs. Carpenter will be among the' wives of Ma rines who will be greatly missed in Edenton. She has taken a very active part with Cub Scouts and besides she has been very co operative in furnishing me with news about the group. o Either the head writer, head setter or proof reader, and maybe all three, were asleep on the job last week. One of the main stories on the front page of The Herald last week was about the sesquicentennial celebration of the Methodist Church. The head to the story read, “Edenton Methodists Plan to Observe 50th Anniversary of Church Sunday, Oc tober 12.” The church is older than that, in fact it is the 150th anniversary they are planning to celebrate. Gosh, I’m liable to be thrown off the official board! /’• . .y. • ——o—r—■ Edenton Rotarians will entertain school teachers tonight at the Masonic Temple. * Os course, some of the old-timers will be on hand, but theta there’s a big crop of new teachers who many of the Rotarians do not know.

State College The week of August 4 was spent with apple growers in the western counties, a series of five meetings. My part on the pro gram was to discqss the proposed referendum which will be voted on September 16. The question is to decide whether or not the growers are willing to contribute five cents per tree for all trees ten years old or older. The funds collected would be used to promote the ap ple industry in all phases: pro duction, marketing, use, and ad vertising. This is the most constructive move that the North Carolina State Apple Grower’s Association has made since organization four years ago. Thought you would be interested in knowing about it be cause I am sure some of my read ers are apple growers. The peach growers,- Irish pota to growers in eastern Carolina, the peanut growers, and the live stock people have all been suc cessful in this respect- and the money is being used to good ad vantage. • Getting back to my trip—l am always impressed as I travel over this great State. To me. geo graphically speaking, North Caro- Health For All Cold Wave Coming This is not a weather report. A cold wave is coming, but it’s the annual wave of colds that happens every fall shortly after the opening of schools. Doctors tell us that a child be ginning primary school has four to six colds a year, and the first one will usually hit soon after he starts school. What can be done to prevent this? Apparently much of what we do is wasted effort. There’s no effective vaccine against the common cold virus, though there is a vaccine against the adenovir uses which cause a small percent age of colds. Isolation is the only certain way to prevent colds, but this is practical only with small babies. There’s evidence that the more contacts a school age child has with the cold virus, the more likely he is to retain his immuni ty. Although colds are most preval ent during the winter, experi ments have shown that chilling hasn’t much to do with it. In winter we close our windows to keep warm and avoid drafts. But the cold virus doesn’t come from outside: it comes from the infect ed person indoors. With windows shut and drafts eliminated the virus particles are most likely to find their human target. Well, what can you do about colds? See that your youngster starting school this fall is in good general health. A visit to the family physician for a check-up is a wise move. This won’t pre vent the child from catching a cold, but it will help ward off the more serious complications that may follow. When a cold strikes, the school may ask you to keep him at home. Keep him comfort able and see that he takes plen ty "of fluid. It’s not necessary to put him to bed unless he has a fever. Many research groups are studying the common cold, and the day may come when it will be conquered. TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED ■ PORTRAITS by PHOTOGRAPHY a 104 S. Broad Street Edenton, N.

How can one compare the Blue Ridge Parkway with the drive from Oregon Inlet to Hatteras? Or the Coastal Plain with the Piedmont? But you can contrast them by considering different soil types, plant materials, length of growing season, recreation spots, temperature and rainfall, farming systems, industries, and customs of the people, which are deep rooted. A trip from Raleigh to Manteo could include a stop at Tryon Palace, see The Lost Colony, catch bass in the sound, and the big ones from the surf or off-shore. The other day I fought traffic! and stop lights from Henderson ville to Oteen. A turn to the left on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the whole picture changed. Peace and quiet, magnificent scenery, no one in a hurry. A stop at the new facility at Craggy Gardens where the story, of plant life is told in pictures, i then to Mt Mitchell—but space is 1 running out. Then to Boone and “Horn in the West.” Get ready!
